---

Bleak shades become familiar

Within a cavernous haze

Eyes wide but lifeless

Billows of smoke decay

Free, yet held in place

Bound by veins

No winds can disconnect

Severed from the outside

Roots swell and seep

And drain life from everything

Behold, a change

All consuming

Dead skin, dead flesh

Earthly womb

[Chorus]

Deathly haze so thick

Coiling the air

Once stood a hollow man, once stood a ghost

Beyond the resurrected

Now the blood that pulses through me has been replaced

Eyes sink into this vast land and ocean

[Solo: Middleton]

Forced through the Earth's shell

I can't see the sky anymore

I can't see what's dragging me down

[Chorus]

Deathly haze so thick

Coiling the air

Once stood a hollow man, once stood a ghost

Beyond the resurrected
